ECTION HAPTER
By default, the Synchronization pop-up menu includes the
Setup option that lets you specify the Web Filter's function
on the network: whether it will be a stand alone unit, or
whether it will send profile/library setting changes to—or
receive such setting changes from—another Web Filter. If
the Web Filter is set up to either send or receive profile/
library setting changes in the aforementioned manner, the
menu option for Status also becomes available in the pop-
up menu. If the Web Filter is set up to send profile/library
setting changes, that Web Filter will function as a Central-
ized Management Console, and thus the CMC Manage-
ment topic becomes available in the navigation panel.
NOTES: For an overview on synchronization, see Chapter 3:
Synchronizing Multiple Units, from the Web Filter Introductory
Section.
If synchronizing a WFR with a Web Filter, see http://
www.m86security.com/software/8e6/hlp/ifr/files/
1system_sync_versions.html for software version compatibility.
WARNING: This version of synchronization only supports the use
of unique IP addresses throughout a network.
